Re: Success with Derealization! / DP definition II

trembling, feeling spaced out all the time, feeling like I was going to " fade

GONE! In fact, I actually FLEW to Dallas and drove on the highway for 1 and 1/2

hours BY MYSELF! I stayed in a hotel by myself. :-) Yes, I had a few moments of

anxiety here and there and some spaciness, which I attribute to the stress of

traveling and how hot it was causing some salt loss, but overall, the trip went

off without a hitch and I'm home without a trace of DP left.

Maybe it's because Florinef helps with being spaced out or dizzy due to

electrolyte imbalances and those sorts of things really aggravate DP. Or maybe

it's just that ANY insufficiency of adrenal hormones leads to anxiety and

anxiety = DP. I truly believe that DP CANNOT exist if there is no anxiety.
